Survival Improvement in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma and Disparities between Different Sexes, Races, and Socioeconomic Status: 1977-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Rare research of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been made in a comprehensive and full description based on a long period of time as yet. This study was aimed at investigating the incidence and relative survival rates (RSRs) of RCC in the past forty years and to disclose the impact of sex, race, and socioeconomic status (SES) on RCC.

Methods

The data as variables, including age, gender, race, and SES, were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. SES was divided into three levels: low poverty, medium poverty, and high poverty. The medium- and high-poverty groups were integrated into one group in all analyses. The RSRs were calculated using period analysis methodology. Summary statistics including incidence and RSRs were analyzed
